Wensleydale - Washed White Wensleydale Fleece (locks)

We would much prefer to sell you Raw Fleece - but if you really don't want to wash your own then ok .... I will do it for you.

Before washing these locks are selected and hand sorted and graded by me personally and only the strongest and best of the fibre is used. Locks can be individually pulled making this an ideal craft supply for dolls hair, decoration, weaving and spinning. Averaging 6 - 9 inches.

Occasionally your order may take a day or so longer to ship if the locks are being washed just for you but we do usually have them in stock!

We are a working farm, we keep rare breed Wensleydales and Bluefaced Leicesters, black and white, for wool exclusively.

Our sheep are in prime condition, with their nutrition closely monitored to avoid any wool-breaks. As you can imagine, opting for professional shearers, weighing the sheep monthly and feeding every lamb twice daily for the first year, is an expensive task.

This means we are unable to offer large discounts but we will try and offer some discounts on larger orders.

Put simply - happy sheep give the best fleeces and therefore the best yarn and cutting corners gives average ones! These values are behind everything we do.

And finally, my website may not give you the best postage option for larger quantities. I will always refund any postage difference or send you a pro-forma invoice in advance.

Our Farm

Fantastic stitch definition and drape. Would be perfect for any garment. Produced entirely from our 'slaughter free' flock here on our historic ridge and furrow farm in the Cotswolds.

Our Wool

After shearing, we take the fleece to Yorkshire, where it is washed, combed and worsted spun. A natural British product and a wonderfully lustrous yarn for your special project.

Driven by a true love for wool and its vast history, we are delighted to offer this high end textile that is highly sought after by crafts people across the world. In spite of a growing demand for this 100% pure worsted wool, the ‘home-grown’ ethos of Home Farm will remain at its core, so you can be sure every ball of wool is crafted with love from Home Farm Wensleydales.
